Pay-per-mile car insurance in Oakland

Nestled in the Bay Area and close to just about everything a person could need, the city of Oakland is a great place to live, work, or retire. While BART and AC Transit can help you to get from A to B, it’s nice to have the freedom that comes with owning a car. Even if you only hit the road for an occasional weekend trip, California state law requires you to have car insurance, but it’s often more expensive than you’d expect.

When it comes to shopping for car insurance, Oakland drivers don’t have to worry about being forced to pay expensive premiums. Metromile provides a different way of enrolling in car insurance with a pay-per-mile system that may help you save hundreds per year.*
Base rates start as low as $29/month and you pay as few as 6 cents for each mile you drive. 

Metromile helps drivers feel confident when they get behind the wheel — they know that they’re protected by great coverage and only pay for car insurance when they need it the most. From telecommuters and retirees to those who simply don’t drive much or prefer riding the bus, some Metromile customers have saved up to 47%* over traditional car insurance rates.
